After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.

soon.

The New Year is here.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve.

Palm Springs, located next to Chaoyang Park in Yanjing.

Chen Xinyi has turned it into something like a temple fair.

A row of red lanterns hung along the second-floor corridor, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with paper-cut window decorations.

A plate of eight-treasure candies was placed on the coffee table, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of longan and red dates.

Although Chen Xinyi is pregnant, she doesn't stop moving around at all.

She was wrapped in a loose red loungewear, nestled in the center of the sofa, clutching a cushion, and holding a small red lantern, remotely controlling the entire scene.

"Sister Shilin, move that lantern on the left a little higher. Yes, right there. Siyan, you've stuck the tassel on backwards, turn it upside down. Tongtong, there's tape under your feet, don't step on it. Wanwan, stick the window decoration a little to the left, yes, it's off-center! Honey, you're helping Wanwan, why are you grabbing her drum? You've made her window decoration crooked! Honestly, if you want to play, play inside her clothes!"

The last two sentences made Jiang Wan, who was already quick-tempered and eager to please, blush deeply.

For a moment, it was difficult to ask Wei Yi to remove his hand, but it was also difficult not to remove it.

Of course, it would be even more embarrassing to actually let him play with his pants in front of everyone.

Jin Shilin stood on the ladder, holding duct tape and a lantern. Unable to contain herself any longer, she looked down and shouted at her:

"Chen Xinyi, why don't you do it yourself?"

Chen Xinyi puffed out her belly and said matter-of-factly, "Can't you see I'm pregnant?"

Kim Se-rin almost jumped off the ladder.

She really wanted to say that Lin Siyan was also pregnant, and her belly was even bigger than hers, yet she was still helping to attach the tassels.

But the words lingered on his lips for a moment before he finally uttered them.

Because she herself knew that what truly dampened her spirits was not whether Chen Xinyi hung lanterns or not.

There's still no sound from my stomach.

Chen Xinyi is pregnant with twins. Lin Siyan is pregnant with twins. Zhang Kexin, the woman outside the marriage, is also pregnant.

Now even Wu Zhenhe is pregnant, and I heard it's twins too.

But Jin Shilin was the most proactive in preparing for pregnancy and the most diligent in exercising.

Every night, he would drag Wei Yi to pay his dues on time, but so far, there's still no sign of pregnancy.

She looked down and touched her flat stomach; she could feel her abs even through her sweater.

Chen Xinyi noticed that she was in a bad mood, so she sat up from the sofa and waved to her with a smile:

"Sister Shilin, come down."

Jin Shilin climbed down the ladder and walked to the sofa. Chen Xinyi pulled her down to sit and whispered in her ear:

"Sister Shilin, why don't you stop exercising while you're trying to conceive? I've recently started to suspect that your inability to get pregnant might be related to the amount of exercise you're doing."

Kim Se-rin was taken aback: "What does this have to do with fitness?"

"Of course. Look how low your body fat is, you've almost stopped menstruating. Women need a little bit of fat to get pregnant more easily."

Chen Xinyi spoke with a straight face, as if it were the truth, "Think about it, if you eat high-protein, low-fat foods every day, your body will definitely think there's a famine outside, so how could it dare to let you get pregnant? It's a survival instinct."

Kim Se-rin was skeptical, then touched her own hard abs and muttered, "It seems... to make some sense?"

Chen Xinyi made the decision: "Starting today, you will train for half an hour less each day, and we will also change your diet. First, build up the fat, and then we can talk about other things."

Before Jin Shilin could speak, a very soft "pfft" came from the side.

It's Lin Siyan.

She sat on a low stool next to a single sofa, holding a string of red tassels in her hand, which she was wrapping around a lantern.

Hearing Chen Xinyi's bluff to Jin Shilin, he couldn't help but laugh.

Wei Yi just released Jiang Wan and came over to get the small lantern.

At a glance, you can see Lin Siyan with her head down, her profile illuminated by the snow outside the window, looking porcelain white. She sits there quietly, wrapping tassels around a lantern, as serene as a fairy maiden who has stepped out of a painting.

He walked over, put his arm around her shoulder from behind, and quickly kissed her cheeks twice.

Lin Siyan froze for a moment, then made a disgusted expression, turned her face away, and wiped the spot where he had kissed her with the back of her hand.

"Get out of here."

The voice remained in that cold and indifferent tone.

But Wei Yi clearly sensed that she didn't immediately curse as she used to, nor did she get up and leave right away.

He then kissed her again.

This time, Lin Siyan only glared at him and didn't say anything more, then lowered her head to continue tying the tassels.

Chen Xinyi sat on the sofa and saw the whole scene clearly. She was so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits.

Chen Xintong was pasting paper-cut window decorations when she suddenly turned around and whispered to Chen Xinyi, "Sister, your smile looks scary."

Chen Xinyi rubbed her face: "Really? Sister is just relieved."

Chen Xintong tilted her head, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to paste her window decorations.

Jiang Wan was constantly busy.

Chen Xinyi was heavily pregnant and couldn't move around too much. Jin Shilin was strong in execution, but not smart enough, and sometimes couldn't keep up with Chen Xinyi's thoughts and aesthetics.

Lin Siyan is highly intelligent and has a very sharp mind, which allows her to fully understand Chen Xinyi's aesthetic sense.

But she was already two months pregnant and her pregnancy was starting to show, plus she was physically weak to begin with.

So now, the most capable person in the family is Jiang Wan.

She is intelligent enough to understand Chen Xinyi's aesthetics and needs, and her execution ability is also stronger than Lin Siyan's.

It can be described as a combination of Kim Se-rin and Lin Si-yeon, although neither is quite perfect.

But he can do everything.

She would go to the kitchen to check on the progress of the New Year's Eve dinner, then to the balcony to check the threads of the lanterns, then to wipe the table with a rag, and occasionally let her husband take advantage of her in small ways, like kissing or touching her.

He was like a tireless little spinning top.

She's definitely the busiest person in the family right now.

As Wei Yi watched Jiang Wan's busy figure, he suddenly thought of her mother, Jiang Ruoyun.

Jiang Ruoyun no longer returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but spent the New Year with Zhou Min in Yanjing.

Chen Xinyi has already asked Jiang Wan to invite her.

But Jiang Ruoyun said she didn't want to disturb the family and only asked Jiang to bring Wei Yi over for dinner later in her later years.

Wei Yi found his mother-in-law quite interesting.

Even though her face was in such a state, she knew better than anyone else how to behave.

In the kitchen, Aunt Zheng and Aunt Li were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

Steam rose from the steamer, and the clay pot bubbled and bubbled, making the whole kitchen warm and cozy with an irresistible aroma.

Chen Xinyi slipped in at some point, clutching two thick red envelopes in her hands.

"Aunt Zheng, Aunt Li, here, this is for you." Chen Xinyi smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your hard work these past six months."

Aunt Zheng and Aunt Li exchanged a glance, both hesitating.

But after Chen Xinyi repeatedly asked them to, they wiped their hands on the apron before taking it from each other.

The red envelopes were bulging and heavy in my hand.

"Miss Chen, this...this is too much, isn't it?" Aunt Li pinched the thickness and was startled.

Chen Xinyi waved her hand: "Not much, not much. Sixty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, just for good luck. Once you've prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, you can go home for the New Year. I'll give you three days off, and you'll still get your full pay."

Aunt Zheng quickly expressed her gratitude, and Aunt Li also said a string of auspicious words.

After Chen Xinyi left, the kitchen was quiet for a few seconds.

Aunt Li spoke first, her voice low: "Sister Zheng, Miss Chen's generosity... is even greater than Miss Wu's. I only started working with Miss Wu last year, and she gave me a red envelope for Chinese New Year too, but not this much..."

Aunt Zheng put the red envelope away and smiled, "You only saw the red envelope. Didn't you see where your daughter and husband work now?"

Aunt Li was taken aback, then laughed: "That's right. If it weren't for Miss Chen's arrangement, my daughter wouldn't have been able to get into Xinyi Group. Her salary is ten times better than what I earned working myself to the bone in the factory back then. My husband is also working in Xinyi's warehouse now, earning in one month what he used to earn in three months."

Aunt Zheng nodded: "My son is currently working at Tage, under the supervision of Manager Fang Yunshu. Miss Chen even specifically asked my son to learn more from Manager Fang. When I asked him last time, he said Manager Fang is a good person and takes good care of him."

She paused, then lowered her voice: "I think Miss Chen is trying to find a spouse for my son."

Aunt Li's eyes lit up: "Manager Fang? You mean the operations manager at Tage? That girl has come twice, she's a very nice person. Sister Zheng, your son is so lucky!"

Aunt Zheng smiled and sighed, "So, this red envelope is just a red envelope, but what's truly valuable is that they've taken good care of our whole family. From now on, as long as we wholeheartedly take good care of this family, that's better than anything else."

Aunt Li nodded repeatedly.

The two women were talking when the doorbell rang.

Wu Zhenhe arrived with Chen Weiwei and Wang Yihan.

Today she wore a bright red cashmere coat with a light gold inner layer, and she looked radiant, like a beautiful flower that had stepped out of a traditional Chinese New Year painting.

As soon as she entered, she announced loudly with a smile:

"I had an ultrasound this afternoon, and both babies are doing very well. Confirmed, they are twins!"

Although Chen Xinyi already knew from Wei Yi, she still clapped her hands and laughed:

"Sister Wu, you're joining the twins club too! From now on, our kids can have two soccer teams for Chinese New Year!"

Wu Zhenhe laughed even harder, walked over and kissed Chen Xinyi on the cheek, and then greeted Lin Siyan and Jin Shilin.

They even helped tidy up Jiang Wan's messy sideburns, which had gotten a little tangled from running around.

Chen Xintong naturally didn't get it either. What she got from Wu Zhenhe was a Messina children's diamond bracelet, which sells for around ten thousand yuan outside.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, I don't know if I'm keeping quiet about things that should be said.

Whenever she comes here, Wu Zhenhe always brings Tongtong a gift.

They were all trinkets, very expensive and beautiful, the kind that Chen Xintong really liked.

And it's something that nobody else has, only she does.

This made Chen Xintong particularly fond of this older sister, second only to Chen Xinyi.

Now that Chen Xintong had received the gift, she indeed turned into a little puppy, sticking to Wu Zhenhe's side and calling her "sister" and "sister-in-law" incessantly.

Watching this scene, Jin Shilin stood behind the sofa, her expression even more complicated, and muttered softly, "How come there are twins again, but I can't get pregnant..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinyi immediately turned around and embraced her:

"Sister Shilin, you're in the best health, so your pregnancy will be the most stable. Don't rush it."

Jin Shilin forced a smile but didn't say anything.

Chen Weiwei and Wang Yihan followed behind Wu Zhenhe, both wearing new light-colored coats, their faces showing just the right amount of restraint.

After chatting with Chen Xinyi for a few moments, Wu Zhenhe suddenly looked up at the second floor and asked with a smile, "Where's my younger brother?"

"I'll change my clothes upstairs," Chen Xinyi said.

Wu Zhenhe winked at Chen Weiwei and Wang Yihan: "Go up and see if Chairman Wei needs any help."

Chen Weiwei and Wang Yihan blushed at the same time.

The two exchanged a glance, and in the end, they obediently went upstairs.

Second floor, master bedroom.

Wei Yi was standing in front of the dressing mirror, shirtless, holding a dark blue shirt in his hand, hesitating whether to put on another one.

When Chen Weiwei and Wang Yihan pushed the door open and came in, Wei Yi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Why are you two up here?"

Chen Weiwei blushed and said softly, "President Wu asked us to come up and see if Chairman Wei needs any help."

Wang Yihan was bolder and walked up to him, taking the shirt from his hands: "Let me help you change."

Wei Yi didn't refuse. He opened his arms and let the two girls put on their sleeves and button their clothes.

Chen Weiwei's fingers were icy cold, occasionally brushing against his chest, while Wang Yihan deliberately buttoned his shirt very slowly, her fingertips lightly tracing his abdominal muscles.

Wei Yi was getting a little aroused by them and was about to speak when his phone rang.

Zhang Kexin.

He answered the phone, and Zhang Kexin's voice came through the receiver, soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry:

"Wei Yi, could you come over to my house for a belated New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow? My parents already had lunch with me, but I still want you to come too. I have to work this afternoon and tonight, so I can only come tomorrow."

As Wei Yi let his two secretaries "help" him, he said softly, "Okay. I'll definitely be there tomorrow."

Zhang Kexin whispered again, "Will you come to the hospital later? I have to stay until tomorrow morning. Could you...could you bring me some late-night snacks?"

What would you like to eat?

Zhang Kexin listed a few dishes on the phone, then added, "Come after you've finished with your sister and the others, don't come too early. I want to spend New Year's Eve with you tonight."

Wei Yi's heart softened slightly: "Okay. You wait, I'll be there before eleven."

After hanging up the phone, the door to the master bedroom was suddenly pushed open.

Chen Xinyi stood at the door, leaning against the door frame, looking into the room with a half-smile.

Chen Weiwei and Wang Yihan both froze.

They were standing on either side of Wei Yi, one holding the last button of his shirt, the other with her hand on his waist.

If that were all, it would be fine.

The key is their other hand; their position is very...

Wei Yi turned to Chen Xinyi: "Sis, didn't I lock the door? You'll just get agitated again."

Chen Xinyi strolled in leisurely, twirling a bunch of keys in her hand, her smile both sweet and smug:

"I have the keys. I have all the keys to the house!"

She walked up to the three of them, her gaze sweeping over Chen Weiwei and Wang Yihan. She noticed that they were blushing and awkwardly trying to withdraw their hand.

"No, please continue," she said with a smile, stopping the two from retreating.

Seeing that the two obediently continued working.

Her gaze then fell back on Wei Yi, her tone full of mischief:

"I can handle this level."

Chen Weiwei: "..."

Wang Yihan: "..."

Wei Yi sighed, buttoned up his shirt again, and put on his jacket.

He then gestured for his two secretaries to stop.

His sister is here.

He really didn't want to upset her.

This woman is mainly greedy and has no patience; just looking at her is unbearable.

The problem is that she is only a little over a month pregnant.

Don't wait until the Lunar New Year holiday to be so stressful that you have to go to the hospital.

Chen Xinyi leaned against the side and began to arrange the evening's schedule, her tone as light and cheerful as if she were listing programs:

"Brother, I've arranged your duty roster for tonight. Stay home and have New Year's Eve dinner with us first. At 11 PM, take some food to Peking Union Medical College Hospital to celebrate the New Year with Sister Kexin. Come back after the New Year, and then go to Kexin's house in the afternoon to have a nourishing New Year's Eve dinner with her parents."

Wei Yi nodded: "Okay."

Chen Xinyi then looked at Chen Weiwei and Wang Yihan, smiling meaningfully: "You two will have a hard time tonight too. Eat more later."

Chen Weiwei and Wang Yihan exchanged a glance, both seeing the same emotion in each other's eyes.

This is Chen Xinyi.

They are truly... utterly wicked.

Outside the window, the snow started falling again on New Year's Eve.

At the top of Palm Springs, red lanterns cast a warm glow, and the room was filled with people and bustling activity.

In this twilight as the year draws to a close, everything slowly ferments into something hot and tender.
